Walmart and Rubi, which offers on-site reactor technology, are teaming up on pilot projects to convert captured carbon emission from manufacturing waste stream into textiles such as affordable apparel.
The projects will explore the integration of carbon capture technology that could ultimately disrupt supply chains and deliver affordable apparel and other products made from carbon emissions for Walmart customers, according to a press release.
"Walmart's collaboration with Rubi could reimagine the apparel supply chain by leveraging technology to create textiles from carbon emissions. This technology could play an important role in our journey towards zero waste and zero emissions," Andrea Albright, EVP, sourcing, Walmart, said in the release. "We see the opportunity to use our scale and reach to have a positive impact wherever we operate, and we're committed to accelerate this impact through our products, services and business practices.
